Character Overview[]
Bio[]
Barbells is a chimp that is Rick Royce's animal companion.
Appearance[]
An average-looking member of the chimpanzee species, with brown hair and lighter areas on belly and cheeks. Most of the time he strikes a bored facial expression, which changes when he smells the scent of bananas. When inebriated, Barbells tends to strike various silly facial expressions indicating his mental state.
Personality[]
Barbells at first glance acts calm, patient, steady, and tame. He has developed such conduct due to completing behavior training, which makes him act like if he is "perfect" gentleman according to Rick Royce. Unlike how Barbells acted during their visit in the episode, their last visit to the hotel was a fiasco as Barbells was a troublemaker that made a lot of damaged to the place.
However, Barbells is suffering from a banana addiction that can easily trigger his old behavior if he senses any banana on sight.

Trivia[]
- The joke in Barbells' premiere episode revolves around him, as a chimpanzee, having his mind addled because of bananas, his species' staple food. The behavior training Rick Royce mentions basically made Barbells act against his nature, hence his normal bored facial expression.
